Segment: Academic

Hosted by: National Geographic Learning Global

Category: Academic Skills, College and Career Readiness, Critical Thinking

Presenter: John Hughes

Many of our young adult learners will define ‘future success' in terms of employability and professional achievement. And as English language teachers we are well placed to support their ambitions. We teach them English for future communication and we develop their academic skills to support their educational objectives. Despite this, we still hear from employers that students leaving school and university are often not ready for the world of work. So how can we integrate employability skills development alongside language learning and academic skills in our lessons? 

 

In this webinar, we'll look at practical ways to combine English language learning with skills development. Examples from Pathways, Third Edition will be used to illustrate how we can support students on the path(s) to future success.
